Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whey protein powder
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

To make the homemade syrup, combine honey, water, and cinnamon in a small saucepan.

Step 8

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it starts to bubble. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool slightly before serving with the pancakes.

Step 10

Serve the high-protein pancakes warm, drizzled with the homemade syrup.
